Summary

This study seeks to deploy several forms of 129Xe MRI contrast as well as emerging conventional proton MRI technqiues for imaging lung structure and perfusion. Specifically, the 129Xe MRI scans will provide 3D images of ventilation and gas exchange, and spectroscopic indices will be evaluated to test gas exchange dynamics with high temporal resolution. The conventional 1H MRI scans will include a free-breathing ultra-short echo time (UTE) scan that provides images similar to that of a CT scan. In addition, to characterize perfusion and vascular dimensions directly, patients will undergo a gadolinium-enhanced perfusion scan.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Outpatients of either gender, age > 18
  • Willing and able to give informed consent and adhere to visit/protocol schedules. (Consent must be given before any study procedures are performed)
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test. This will be confirmed before participation in this investigational protocol.
  • Either has a diagnosis of PAH, isolated left heart disease or lung disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or interstitial lung disease) or CTEPH using established clinical criteria.
  • Patients undergoing right heart catheterization for evaluation of PAH or other cardiac or pulmonary disease for MRI scans

Exclusion criteria

  • Medical or psychological conditions which, in the opinion of the investigator, might create undue risk to the subject or interfere with the subject's ability to comply with the protocol requirements
  • Conditions that will prohibit MRI scanning (metal in eye, claustrophobia, inability to lie supine)
